  • Summaries of the comment section to see viewer reactions
  • Follow-up questions to an AI assistant and translation of results

Use cases

  • Deciding whether a long tutorial is worth watching in full

Getting started

After installing, open a YouTube video and use the Clarify AI panel on the page to generate a summary, view the transcript or ask questions.

Good to know

It is designed for YouTube videos, and transcripts and comments are processed by an AI service. Summaries can miss nuance, so check important details in the video itself.
